ng, though it was purely abstract and theoretical, and no views of particular novelty were brought forward on either side. The strength of the Two Armies at Murfreesboro'. The Knoxville Register says that our forces reduced by Lt. Gen. Smith's corps being sent to Mississippi did not, in the battle of Murfreesboro', exceed 30,000, while the enemy numbered over 50,000. A letter to the Cincinnati Gazette shows that the enemy knew this fact. It says. It had been ascertained that Bragg's force did not at any time exceed 45,000 effectives of all arms. On the 24th of December it had been depleted by the detachment of a portion of Forrest's Cavalry, sent to cut Grant's communication; of Morgan's cavalry, pushed out to cut our own communication; and of one division, say 5,000 men, of Kirby Smith's corps, which were ordered to reinforce the rebel army of Mississippi.

Of course, in England, they will not believe a word of all this, but the design is first to cheer the Yankee nation, and next to prevent those of Europe from recognising us.
